CL Craftsman Drill Press - does anyone recognize the model?

[6530]

I may go look at it tomorrow but want to see if any of you experts can tell me anything about it. I've requested more information and better photos.

Edit:
This is the closest model I can find, but unfortunately not much information seems to be available.

One more here.

I think it's late 30's era, maybe early 40's.

Looks like it could be a sweetheart with minimal beautification.

I think it's an 40's/50's Atlas.
Dig through here for a similar machine:

101 prefix would be Atlas
102 would be Walker-Turner

Can't go wrong with either if not bent or damaged.
Have at it!

It looks like it may be a model 101.03582 based on the OWWM/Vintage Machinery site.

Any idea what it's worth? It's priced at $80.

there are so many ways people value old tools it's hard to say. i can tell you it is in the ballpark for older craftsman presses. in my experience, most are usually valued by how well they compare to modern equivalents and how much effort it takes to get them there.

if it turns on, runs well, and drills accurately for your needs it's likely going to hold it's value better than anything you'd find new for $80.00.

however, it really comes down to how capable you are and what you want to do with the press. and also how badly you need one. the motor could be failing, the wiring and bearings may need to be replaced, etc. older tools can become their own project to the point they prevent you from doing what you wanted to do when you bought it.
